[b]SS Gene Cernan arrives at space station[/b] The S.S. Gene Cernan, Orbital ATK's eighth Cygnus cargo spacecraft to deliver supplies and science for the crew on board the International Space Station, completed a two-day flight to the outpost on Tuesday morning (Nov. 14). Expedition 53 flight engineer Paolo Nespoli of ESA (the European Space Agency), working with commander Randy Bresnik of NASA, captured the S.S. Gene Cernan using the space station's Canadarm2 robotic arm at 4:04 a.m. CST (1004 GMT). With the Cygnus in grasp, flight controllers at NASA's Mission Control Center in Houston guided the spacecraft to a berthing on the Earth-facing port of the station's Unity module, where it will remain attached for the next three weeks.
